Just as the Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon takes center stage, adorned with the brilliance of companion grapes, this dry Bordeaux-style red blend captures the essence of a crown encrusted with glistening diamonds. Crafted with utmost respect for its terroir and provenance, Tiara is destined to age gracefully, promising to bestow the rewards of patience upon those who cellar it for years to come.
The wine displays a dark maroon core with a bright red rim. Wonderful aromas of black currant, dark cherry, and lead pencil with a touch of floral notes fill the air. On the palate, a concentrated core of dark fruit is finished off with fine layers of cocoa, sea breeze and a hint of savoriness. The tannins are as smooth as silk, and with well integrated oak, the wine has a viscosity to it that completes it. This is an expertly crafted Bordeaux-style Red Blend that can be enjoyed now or will age gracefully in your cellar for up to 15 years.
This wine is suitable for vegans.

A Tiara, graced with diamond-studded grandeur, graces the head of a royal princess. Tiara embodies the pinnacle of each vintage, dating back to its maiden release in 1990, proudly standing as Simonsig’s flagship. Nurtured in ancient, weathered shale soils, a perfumed and exquisitely feminine elegance is revealed, a quality reflected in its very name.
The Tiara has the body and structure to improve with cellaring up to 2025, but should last much longer. Due to the elegance and fruit intensity it is also delicious to drink now.
